For SWX 2006 - Move/copy a table from Sht 1 to Sht 2?

A simple question:
I have a drawing of a part, with a general SWX table (nothing driving
or driven in SWX) and I want to copy it to another sheet. I have tried
all the usual ways, and am now a bit frustrated. Has anyone else tried
this, and if so are you similarly wound up?

Cheers,

Max

 

Same problem here using Ctrl C & Ctrl V, What will work is open a new
drawing paste there, then copy paste back to original drawing.

You have to use CUT & PASTE (not copy & paste) -- cutting it will delete it
from the first page -- now paste it on the second page & then paste it back
onto the first page again.
I learned this trick from SolidWorks world.... typically it is used on
copying General tables -- but I believe it works on all tables including
(BOMs). I think the reason it is giving you trouble is the fact that
SolidWorks is programmed to only allow you to have one BOM per drawing &
since a BOM is a table & a general table is (well) a table -- then the code
that blocks multiple BOMs is blocking multiple general tables as well... So
I think the above trick is actually exploiting a bug -- so we all need to
make sure that we fill out the ehancement request form to make sure copying
of general tables is allowed....
In my opinion creating equations in general tables needs to be easier --
for example -- if you the cells in one collumn to allways be 2 times the
value in another collumn then you have to manually create the equation in
all the cells & they do not store equations in templates.... so if someone
else agrees please submitt that ER too...

Hope that helps

Here are the steps to copy from one sheet to another.

Select the general table from the feature manager.
Go to Edit menu and select Copy
Activate second sheet
Click on second sheet
Go to Edit menu, and select Paste.

This works just fine for me.
